    OK, everyone, I'm starting to compile a list of names for this weekend's first vote on ESB Official Rankings. This list is not at all restrictive, but I need to go ahead and have some names entered into my spreadsheet to make scoring easier.

    Some of the guys I've listed are frauds and won't get any votes, I'm sure, and other worthy fighters will be missing.

    Also, this is *NOT* the rankings thread. This is just help for me in preparation for Monday's scoring.

    Two things:

    1) Which guys do you think might get some votes but aren't listed?

    and

    2) Do you disagree with which division any fighters are listed? That's a tricky one. ESPN, Ring and everyone else disagree on certain divisions. It would be better to figure this stuff in advance.

    Thanks!

    I don't know I heard he was going to stay at 140 to try to get a fight with Paulie. I don't know you may be right.

    Looks like a good bunch of lists.....Im sure their are a couple...but no glaring ommissions from my account.

    Biggest one I could think of was Sam Solimon and Sergio Mora at 160. And those aint big.....LOL!

    So is it this Sunday that we are voting? Cause I am going to be moving back into my place this weekend (had a fire at the house a few weeks back...finally finished replacing the whole kitchen...)...but if it is, I will definately make time to get online.

    Manfredo lasted a few rounds against Calzaghe, that proves some measure of ability for the contender-full stop-

    Why do you disagree Sues-qm-

    He's not even deserving of a top 30 ranking. Gate keeper Miguel Huerta would starch him early.
